About the Site

The library's new website features include a new platform for searching the library's resources, ‘My Pages’, which is your own area on the homepage, and user group access for students, researchers and other visitors.

The new search feature on the homepage integrates more resources and systems than previously and is designed to give users a better overview of what is available to them. The 'Discovery Tool' will be an important component of the search function. We are in the process of acquiring this feature and it will be integrated during spring 2012.

The 'My pages' function on the homepage is available for you to adapt to your own requirements after you log in. As a user, you can view your loans, renew loans, place orders and view booked group rooms. You can also create custom lists of databases, journals, books and articles and access previously saved searches. In this way, you will be able to go straight to the items you want to monitor and/or save for later use.

A new discussion and information forum for university researchers, the Research Blog, is in place (in Swedish). There is also a service for ordering ACTA titles such as Print on Demand and the facility for researchers to order digital copies of older works.

The news flow is published in blog format on the homepage along with a calendar function and an image browser. A new FAQ has been compiled to provide answers to frequently asked questions.

Navigation is based on the user groups students, researchers and other visitors.

Remote access to databases and electronic journals - both on and off campus.

Website surveys

The website is developed on the basis of user research, personas, and suggestions and comments we have received from students, researchers, lecturers and other library users.

It is our aim that all university library users will be able to carry out their library business regardless of time and place.

Standards and guidelines

We have endeavoured to build the website in accordance with the W3C Standard.

Design

The design is adapted to the Stockholm University web design - www.su.se.
